Oh for sure, the eye candy is the fun one for seeing things come together. Same with the way the team develop. Talk is exciting but the magic is when its all added and working with the eye candy modelling.

I'm building the throttle quadrant. The levers come from a real Scottish Aviation Bulldog plane. I have modify them a little in order to mount them in vertical panel. Real ones go in horizontal.The tightening lever (which is functional) now is on the right, like standard pipers throttle quadrants. (Scottish aviation bulldog has this lever on the left).

Im using some 3d print pieces and high quality pots.When finish the cockpit, the 3d print plate will be behind the aluminium panel, so printed pieces wont be seen.

I hope this weekend will be attached to the structure and working with simulator. I will post a vid with the levers working

this days I have made an Elevator trim indicator:

and Cabin air temperature gauge:It is great A2A uses so many custom lvars for so many things. You can make working gauges for everything

If you don't mind me asking, how exactly did you make the GTN and how does it work? Is it 3D printed? Is there a small computer screen behind it running the Flight1 GTN?

it's always a pleasure to answer questions!

Inside the cockpit is a small pc (msi cubi) which manage gtn750, engine monitor and other software.

The gtn750 chassis and bezel is 3d printed. It has a touch display inside. The software is the standalone g750 version from flight1tech. The buttons and encoders work through an arduino that sends keystrokes to the software.

These are the pieces I have desing and print to make the gtn750:

And a view from behind:

I have to finish the buttons, one encoder (upper left), and sand and paint the bezel.
